Moorea: Private Jet Ski Tour & Snorkeling with Island Lunch

Summary

Private jet ski around Moorea with snorkeling lunch stop and local guide

You’ll feel Moorea’s wild beauty as you zip across its lagoon by private jet ski with a local guide. Dive in to snorkel among rays and sharks at a quiet island spot, then share a laid-back lunch by the water before heading back—with salty hair and maybe a new story or two.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I remember is the slap of salt spray on my lips—honestly, I was grinning like an idiot before we’d even left the dock. Our guide, Manu, had this easy way about him; he just handed us the life vests and said “You drive how you feel today,” which made me laugh (and also a little nervous). The lagoon was that wild blue you see in postcards but never quite believe until you’re there, with sunlight flickering over the water and the faint smell of reef in the air. We set off slow at first, weaving past fishing boats and waving at a kid who yelled something I didn’t catch—maybe teasing us for looking so serious on our jet skis.

I lost track of time after that. There’s something about skimming over water that makes everything else fade out—the engine’s hum, wind whipping past your ears. When Manu signaled to stop near this tiny motu (he called it “our secret spot”—I’m sure he says that to everyone), we jumped in to snorkel. The water was cool against my skin. Stingrays glided right up, almost brushing my arm. I tried not to flinch but honestly? My heart was thumping. There were blacktip sharks too—smaller than I expected but still enough to make me hesitate before following Manu’s lead. He pointed out coral shapes and names in French; I nodded along, pretending I understood more than I did.

Lunch was simple—grilled fish and fruit under a palm roof while our wetsuits dried in the sun. Someone cracked a joke about my mask hair (fair) and we all laughed harder than necessary. There was this quiet moment when everyone just watched the lagoon shimmer, no one talking, just breathing it in. On the way back around Moorea, dolphins showed up for maybe thirty seconds—long enough for Manu to yell “Lucky day!” and for me to fumble my phone into the water (don’t worry, it floated). So yeah, not perfect—but honestly? That’s what made it stick with me.
